Carbon Emissions in Britain from the report:
Chart UK Energy in Brief, July 2008
from BERR. Crown Copyright
This section looks at the impact on the environment of over 200 years of burning fossil fuels.
It took many years before people began to pay attention to the damage but we still need to use fossil fuels and nuclear to produce energy so
- How can we manage our existing non-renewable energy sources?
- How can we clean up the power stations using this source?
- How can we clean up the environment damaged by past emissions?
- How can we make these power stations safe when they close down?
- How can we make sure renewable energy can meet our future energy needs?
Environment Podcasts on Radiowaves and a new, interactive website
